ABC's Supernanny bashes BF in upcoming show...

I have to admit that I haven't yet seen this preview yet, but I'm certainly keeping an eye out for it. I've also got the show set to record.

However, here's what I've heard through the lactivist grapevine... previews for the show have a clip of Supernanny getting mad at the mom for nursing her 14-month old baby and saying "14-months old and STILL on the boob... crazy!". And then the announcer says "someone get that baby a bottle!". Um, excuse me while I go say some nasty things in another room. I'll be back when I've collected myself.

Ok, so, hopefully I can catch this nasty preview at some point. I've definitely got the DVR set to record. (BTW, the show airs Monday night, March 12th - check your local listings for time.) And after I've seen this nonesense, I'll be writing a letter to ABC and to the show's producers to let them know just how disgusted I am.

For anyone interested, I'll go ahead and post the contact information...

Trying to give your baby the best? Fork over the $$

You'll find a common trend throughout my blog is lactivism. Here's an example of gross discrimination against breastfeeding mamas.

A day care in Ohio, City Kids Daycare, is charging a breastfeeding mama $50 extra per week because they consider her breastmilk to be a bio-hazard that requires special handling. Ohio laws state that breastmilk does not require any special handling. If this gets your panties all bunched up the way it does mine, check out The Lactivist's blog on the issue.
Or, if you're feeling really fiesty, you can simply send City Kids Daycare an e-mail letting them know what you think: citykidsdaycar@aol.com.
